"The
accommodations are just part of the story at the Stanford, however.
What is also unique about this place is that they actually encourage
the guests to talk to each other! I know that sounds strange
in these days of impersonalness. But its true." Winetidings |

"Place
No. 1 was the sprawling Stanford Inn by the Sea, where I curled
up by my fireplace in a wood-paneled suite that made me feel
like I was in one of those high-end cabins you only see in Ralph
Lauren ads." Walking Magazine |

"...owners
Joan and Jeff Stanford have created the ultimate escape...an

food. ...This inn is the perfect escape-even if you just get

"I
guess that's why the word 'ambience' is such a workhorse word
in the travel writer's lexicon. It is often the setting, the
surrounding environment and the human element that make for truly
superlative experiences and passionate memories that last a lifetime."

"I
had a hard time deciding what to do, once I unpacked. Swim in
the indoor, subtropical pool surrounded by lush vegetation? Sit
on the balcony and watch the ocean? Go down to the Big River
and take a canoe or kayak to observe harbor seals and other wild
things? Rent a bike for a tour along the Mendocino Coast, on
the back roads or in the sate parks? I sat on the balcony."
